I confirm that we, WLM-IR, have received this message (through multiple channels) and we are considering whether to participate in 2020's contest or not. We will let folks know through our channels of communication if we are to participate or not by Sep. 6. (Please note that Iran's contest normally starts on Sep. 5 or 6, to better align with the Persian calendar, so we still have a couple of days to finalize our decision.;) I appreciate the excitement Amir has brought to this conversation and their eagerness for us to participate. :)

Hello WLM. I'm Amir Pashaei an architectural photographer from Iran. I photographed a lot of pictures from Iran's heritage since last year.I nominated some of them for Featured picture candidates and 37 of them now Featured .some of the best of them didn't uploaded because I hoped to winning prize this year and wait for WLM. But I realized WLM Iran's organizer have decided to not participate this year. But they didn't announced this decision in the WLM Iran's Instagram page. I Consulted with [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Wilfredor Wilfredor] He said I can Participate in holding WLM In Iran. and I (Pashaei) would help and take care of everything Except for evaluating the images. If my helping in holding has problem I can find volunteers. Is there any hope that this will happen? Can I participate my pictures in WLM? best regards Amir Pashaei
